Here's where it is and when:

This Saturday starting at The Husky on Trunk Rd. register your motorcycle for the ride at 10 a.m. before heading out at 11 a.m.

Here's who's putting it on:

The Biker's Rights Organization is hosting the 26th Annual Toy Run for Women In Crisis. Bev Beauchamp, Chairwoman of the Toy Run knows first hand the importance of the service Women In Crisis provides and what a difference the donations make to the families.

Here’s why you’ll want to go:

The cost to join the ride is just a donation to Women In Crisis, whether it be toys, clothes, school supplies or gift cards. Federal funding covers operating costs but Women In Crisis rely on donations from events like this to provide the family with basic supplies that we take for granted like shampoo and toys for the kids.

Great Lakes Honda is the finish point of the ride and they will be sponsoring a BBQ for all the riders.

You'll also want to know this:

Last year was the largest yet with 90 riders and three car loads jam packed full of donations. The BRO Toy Run is the largest fundraising event hosted by community supporters for Women In Crisis.
